Sometimes Its beyond frustrating and it feels as though your going nuts.Its so beyond ridiculous that I start laughing at myself. I make jokes about it and when I am public, I just say please excuse me, its been one those days, then sometimes they will say, " I know what you mean." Lol! Other times I can't even write sentence or it take's forever for me write something. Then I look back at what wrote. I think what was I trying to say?
I feel the coffee pot up more than once.Before you know it,I got water fall running of kitchen counter. Oh yeah, I ate dog biscuits before and spit it out real quick. Lol! They don't taste bad but they don't taste good either. I understand how dogs likes them. Lol! Then I find myself standing in a room.I can't remember why came there, try recall why I standing there. Then I happen to look down and two big brown eyes are staring back at me. Its my dog staring at me. Even my dog knows some thing is not right. Oh well because she always loves me :)
Then there are times, I would like to scream. But I can't here, because my neighbors are close by.I think my neighbors might call emergency on me.Next thing I know may get a knock at door. I couldn't even explain myself to them even if tried:) They would probably think I'm on drugs. I am, I take medication. Haha! So with my luck, all end up in mental hospital.As one lady said, at least you could enjoy good looking fire men and ride. Lol! I could careless about that, but it is funny. Lol!
Even when in public, don't worry about it.Everybody has pains of all kinds and a lot people or hiding it. But people are really into themselves and don't pay attention to anybody. By them judging us, they have just told everybody what they think about themselves and showed their true colors.
However, I never really had a problem like that and everybody is usually nice to me because they know me. Brian Fogs make you think that you are going crazy but your not and your mind will be clear again. God Bless you and Big Hugs :) Its normal for us the illness is crazy. I wrote you a lot but I hope it help you.
@A MyFibroTeam Member lol, I totally relate to doing crazy stuff. It does make you feel like duh, what's wrong with me, ya and then I laugh at myself. Kinda have to. ;) Hugs ♡ ♡
@A MyFibroTeam Member I think someone said "isolate." That is pretty much what I do. I don't go around people very often but my family. It is embarrassing to start a conversation and get part the way through and forget what I was going to say. Name of people and things is worse for me. I hope you have a good way to help this crazy "fog." Hugs
